Tropaeolum peregrinum, the canary-creeper,[1]canarybird flower, canarybird vine, or canary nasturtium, is a species of Tropaeolum native to western South America in Peru and possibly also Ecuador.[2][3]
Species of flowering plant in the family Tropaeolaceae
It is a climbing plant growing to 2.5 m high by scrambling over other vegetation. The leaves are 2–5cm diameter, palmately lobed with three to seven (mostly five) lobes; they are subpeltate, with the petiole attached within the leaf (not at the edge), though near the edge. The flowers are 2–4cm diameter, with five frilled petals, bright pale yellow (canary-coloured, hence the English name), often with red spots at the base of the petals, eight stamens, and a 12mm nectar spur at the rear.[3]
Cultivation
It is a frost-tender perennial widely grown as an annual[4] ornamental plant in cool temperate parts of the world.
